Honkai Impact 3rd, what should an ordinary player do at the start?

Page 8

In the end, I never even got to see him.

Unreachable.

This means that even if some truths or emotionally charged matters were revealed in words now, Yae and Erosion would not hear them.

No matter how hasty this plan may be, it can be declared over at this moment, because a greater collapse will kill it first—Jiangcheng itself.

It wasn't that he hadn't considered hiding to the side and then deceiving Mei into continuing to inject Honkai energy there.

Useless.

The collapse of the riots was city-wide.

Even if he were fast enough to escape the city, he would still be affected by things that ordinary people might barely tolerate. However, this guy, who is below average in terms of sensitivity and even more sensitive than ordinary people, is completely unable to accept it. Touching even a little bit of it will result in him being searched and messed up.

……

"Mei, please continue to recall."

"Don't worry, you won't die no matter what."

"The outcome is something you don't need to worry about. What I've told you beforehand is enough to make your life more comfortable."

Jiang Cheng tried to raise his chest as high as possible off the ground to keep his voice clear enough so that it wouldn't be too blurry to hear.

He didn't try to look up, because having personally experienced this pain, he could easily tell that the face that appeared on his face must be terrible.

Right now, his eyebrows are furrowed up in a hideous grimace, his facial skin is twitching, he's baring his teeth, and his whole face is stiff.

"you……"

Do you want to end your suffering?

Raiden Mei's voice trembled slightly. Even though her vision was becoming increasingly blurry, she could clearly feel that the emotions of the person in front of her were rapidly declining. The slightly reflective purple color that had just reflected sunlight must have been her eyes, which were already filled with tears.

Why are you so emotional towards me?

I was clearly just someone who threatened her.

At most, they threw out some truths.

Jiang Cheng didn't want to think about such things anymore, because he absolutely couldn't waste his last bit of energy on something wasteful. He just tried his best to lift his head and make his still-intact voice clear.

"I will not commit suicide, and I absolutely will not commit suicide..."

"Come to my side and continue what happened before."

"Gather as much Honkai energy as possible... while my nervous system hasn't completely rotted away yet."

You need to accumulate at least enough negative emotions.

Let's take a gamble on the Lawyer.

The rest of the words were unspeakable; they would be useless to say, and I had no strength to say them. After uttering the last word, I couldn't even lift my head.

It's not because the body has collapsed and can't even speak or perform basic actions, but because the pain has physically stripped it of its abilities, depriving it of the most basic functions to perform any action.

"Shall we continue as before?"

"Ah... I understand."

The questioning of the self-talking stopped—it seemed that he had truly handed over all his trust.

At least in Jiang Cheng's view, the girl obeyed and returned to her original position with unimaginable speed, and although her vision was so blurred that she could not see the large patch of pigment, she just stood there quietly.

If things are normal now, the first thing to analyze should be the strange things about Mei.

At this moment, all I can do is continue on my own.

Yes.

Self-harm.

This is Jiangcheng's final plan.

This civilization doesn't actually have high standards for Herrschers. Even though the vast majority of Herrschers had strong Honkai energy resistance, innate Stigmata, or sufficiently strong bloodlines before becoming Herrschers.

But compared to some people who don't know much about him, Jiang Cheng knows a special being who, despite not meeting any of the conditions, has also become a Lawyer.

—Herrscher of the Stars!

—Chen Tianwu!

Being affected by a Honkai attack caused by a non-Herrscher means that in the future, most of his body will need to be replaced and he will need to be transformed into a prosthetic body in order to survive. He is also the only person in the story who cannot even come into contact with a Herrscher, which will cause his body to gradually collapse and his artificial body to gradually deteriorate.

Strictly speaking, his Honkai energy resistance is the closest to that of someone like him—someone who could single-handedly create a new line of work at the level of an ordinary person.

Chen Tianwu, whose body was almost completely broken, transformed into a Lawyer out of resentment and anger.

Regardless of the actual state, at least the core has genuinely taken root within the body.

It doesn't matter what hidden dangers or problems may arise in the future, or even whether there is a core. It doesn't matter if we are just barely surviving, as long as we can survive. We are willing to make as many attempts as possible for this.

That's enough.

Just being able to survive is enough.

The request for Raiden Mei to release Honkai energy was not just a foolish gamble, but also a final preparation for the possible birth of a Herrscher.

Under Cocolia's threat, the entire Changkong City has effectively become a giant bomb, with Honkai energy permeating the air.

If we compare this energy to gunpowder, then to ignite the gunpowder, we would naturally need to surround ourselves with enough fuel to burn.

As for the lead wire.

He is Ling Qia Si Liu Ba VI=I*fin lead.

……

Chapter 11 This is the end for time travelers.

The fire was lit by resentment, anger, and sorrow—resentment at contracting a serious illness for no reason and enduring pain that makes one want to bang their head against the wall and die; anger at coming here from the comfort of an air-conditioned bed; and sorrow at being unable to go home and touch those familiar, close, and vividly remembered people.

The section on sadness might not be quite enough, but the preceding additions are already more than sufficient. At least Jiang Cheng doesn't believe that his emotions and pain at this moment are weaker than any Herrscher who became a Herrscher due to negative emotions.

This is not something that ordinary people can tolerate. Many people would break down and kneel on the ground curled up if their little finger hit a corner of the wall. Everyone's tolerance and mental strength are different, so it cannot be generalized.

Compared to those who are truly strong and resilient, have a firm will, or are exceptionally talented, anything he encounters now could easily defeat him.

Whether it's pain or the unfamiliarity of arriving in a new world.

The fact that it hasn't collapsed yet is purely out of the will to survive.

Now that he was a little more liberated and less restrained, intense emotions surged like a tidal wave, threatening to engulf the boy in an abyss almost instantly. The pain manifested as a raging storm, arriving from the distant horizon within reach, brutally shattering his weak heart.

The consequences and costs of this are things that have never even been considered.

He's about to die; he's about to be tortured to death.

Why bother caring about these things?

He has no relatives, no friends, no one he knows or cares about in this world. Even if he dies here, it is not a proper death. He cannot even be buried at home. He is a completely lonely ghost, a pitiful creature who can only wander alone in other places.

Empathy between people must be based on knowledge; otherwise, what kind of self-blame and guilt can a bunch of numbers evoke?

Without any hesitation, Jiang Cheng focused his attention, trying his best to think about the most painful and terrible thing in his life.

No matter how embarrassing those moments may be.

How I don't want to face it.

How I don't want to look at it.

No matter how painful it is, it's better than death. Only death is the complete end, the end of everything, the end where even thought completely ceases.

At the same time, the remaining part of his attention—or rather, the part that was too much pain to concentrate on—was trying his best to sense the Honkai energy in his body and to push it forward with all his might.

If you haven't experienced or witnessed this supernatural energy, then try to observe it wholeheartedly.

Faced with a life-or-death crisis, every possible attempt must be made, and even the mind must be activated at its fastest speed to find a way out using ordinary wisdom.

It doesn't entirely rely on Raiden Mei's abilities, who hasn't stepped into another world and doesn't have any real awareness.

It is irresponsible to throw your life into the hands of others.

This is irresponsible on the part of both parties.

Jiang Cheng could accept hurting others in order to survive, but he wasn't so despicable as to be completely oblivious to the fact that he was proud of hurting others.

What he just said was essentially just an expectation. He didn't completely believe that Raiden Mei was capable of torturing him. For an ordinary young lady, even killing someone would be unacceptable, let alone torturing someone who was a rotten lump of flesh like this.

It's good if I can help, and I've already prepared for it even if I can't. Whether I act or not doesn't involve Jiang Cheng's own plans for himself.

She is unwilling and absolutely will not rely on Raiden Mei's abilities, who has not yet entered another world and has no awareness of her own existence.

Without any hesitation, Jiang Cheng tried his best to think about the most painful and worst things in his life.

--memory.

All memories were mobilized.

If we call the human mind a library, then our current actions are to rush into it without hesitation, searching for the most painful areas.

As a backup plan I had thought of beforehand, when I was looking for the way to the shrine, I had actually already listed it out in my mind and prepared the relevant memories.

Just touch it.

All you need to do is recall it.

Just have to bear it.

Physical damage is actually sufficient from Honkai energy; it's enough to cause damage that's countless times more painful than being slowly sliced ​​to death.

In particular, this energy can be utilized to some extent, so while it damages the human body, it can even enhance mental focus.

His mouth was already wide open, revealing his white teeth and rosy tongue. His brown eyes were instantly filled with crimson blood. The blood vessels that had already almost filled the entire white of his eyes had swelled to the point that it wouldn't be surprising if you pointed at those eyes and said they were about to explode.

it hurts……

I feel like fainting.

I really want to die!

I want to die so badly! ...

My brain has been completely shrouded in shock, as if in a state of chaos.

It was churning and swirling...

It seems like my brain is being mixed up.

Jiang Cheng felt as if a rusty stick was being inserted into his eye socket.

The throat could no longer transmit even the slightest sound, and the chest, heaving like a broken blower, could not pass through the tattered ventilation opening.

It could only strain to open its head and roar out a silent lament, tumbling in a sudden tremor of its body and in a muddy, dull pain.

The boy felt as if his skull was being violently churned by a drill, or as if he were being torn apart and ravaged by countless blades in a meat grinder, causing him to bleed profusely. The shock caused his nose to gush blood. At this moment, even the blood that spurted out had a purple tinge that seemed to be like a virus, making anyone who saw it instinctively want to stay away.

The skin, which had been eroded and rotted away immediately, was gurgling like charred flesh—it seemed that even the bone marrow had been dug out and eaten clean.

The self is being devoured, torn apart/destroyed. Under the intense pain, even the name Jiang Cheng, which means "human being," seems to be forgotten, and is about to become a blurred sauce.

Red, yellow, blue, green... in short, all the disgusting pigments in the human body were mixed together. Under Jiang Cheng's skin and flesh, in this cavity built from bones—the only remaining bones—the pain and embarrassment of being actively led to the past memories were like nails hammered deep into his head, tearing apart his will and causing his reason and emotions to peel away like fragments.

His mind was trembling uncontrollably. Words woven from his own voice, like a narration, kept echoing in his ears, tormenting Jiang Cheng's boiling brain, causing it to spasm uncontrollably, and his consciousness involuntarily sliding towards the abyss of utter destruction—

Why is this so?

Why would something like this happen?

Just a moment ago, I should have been lying in bed drinking cola and eating potato chips.

Why did this pain find me?

Why did I have to encounter such a terrible thing?

His own voice continued to repeat incessantly in his ears, like an interrogation, asking him why he had fallen to this state—

My brain, already self-destructing with the last vestiges of sanity, searching for past misery and pain, is no longer capable of answering any questions.

The will and awareness of a normal person, the self born in a peaceful world, is more fragile than glass in the face of true torment.

Jiang Cheng once thought he could sacrifice everything to survive, but only now does he realize how ridiculous that idea was.

In the face of true suffering, even death becomes a luxury, and complete annihilation becomes an impossible fantasy.

Ahhh...
